My new machine is approaching.

I anticipate that, by working here and there and off and on,
I should be finished with the installation by mid-March 2025.

For one thing, I have over 400 packages to build according to
the new machine specs.

Now, I can hear all the distro lackeys exclaim: "WTF! I can
install a GNU/Linux distro in 15 fucking minutes!"

My answer lies within the common aphorism:

Rome was not built in a day.

Rome, the great capital of Western civilization stood for many
centuries. Such a marvel indeed could not be built in a day.

The same applies to a GNU/Linux distro.

Only an ignoramus idiot would be content with what the distros
offer.

My new machine will replace one that is based on an Intel Core
i7-4770, a CPU which was first released in 2013. But thanks to
a custom GNU/Linux install, that "old" hardware can rival any
more current machine -- and I have the benchmarks to prove it.

Rome was not built in a day, and when I am finished my new machine
will beat all comers for many years into the future.

Customization and configuration are what make GNU/Linux the King.

Microslop Winblows is but the welfare agent for the stupid.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

But didn't it fall, like, in a day? Wasn't a day before that like Rome
is on its day one? Wait, first, to see whether Xeon crashes your os
within about one minute of use after bootup :)

Oh no!... NO Flud NO!.. Don't tell me you'll end up installing Winblows
on it! Cause the damn CPU works like a fucking _charm_ with Winblows :)

Hahhahhahhahh :-))

By the time you finish this golden machine of yours it will be obsolete.
Why the fuck does it take you 4 months to assemble a PC?
Mine took a couple of hours.
And booted up fine at POR.

You are overstretching the analogy.

The message is that good things always take a while.

It won't crash.

If it does crash, then it would be sign that the Apocalypse is
upon us.

Larry Pietraskiewicz will continue to tweak whatever shit hardware he
buys for months on end in the hope of it running about 2% faster than
some other cheap loser who bought the exact same hardware. He ignores
the fact that for most people, it is a lot easier to simply buy better
hardware.

Larry is a moron, he's talking about the labor of making the software
on his new computer work, it's because he refuses to deal with people
on a level where they can be met, in reality his decried Linux distros
do a fabulous job, but he forgoes it in favor of some purist extreme
of independence from someone else.

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent. States are

Make it Christmas 2025 - give yourself some breathing room to install
all that hobbyist dreck.

Only an incel loser would compile 400 (cr)apps for one computer.

No, you don't.

Plus you'll snivel and whine and dismiss ANY benchmark besides that
single SciMark benchmark that proves nothing.

Gentoo is 37% faster my ass.

Agreed, it can't, because to be able to crash, it needs to start first.

It won't. See above.

And my message is that good things might disappear within one minute. My
Xeon computer crashes on linux within about one minute of use. It never
crashes with Winblows on it.

Somehow, that demonstrates how great Linux is.
